Use J-high as a high-frequency overbet bluff on low boards, but give up once the board pairs and Villain shows aggression.

Flop Analysis

JTo is a strong candidate for an aggressive c-bet strategy here. While the range leans toward checking, our specific combo benefits from using a large sizing to fold out better high cards.

Turn Analysis

Checking back is a viable mix, but the solver actually leans toward continuing the aggression with a large bet to maximize fold equity against BB's capped range.

Note: Checking back misses an opportunity to continue the story; J-high is a preferred bluff candidate to keep pressure on BB's weak pairs.

River Analysis

Once BB leads for over half the pot on the river, our J-high is a trivial fold. We have no showdown value and our blockers aren't relevant enough to justify a hero call or raise.
